  7. Add to pan: Add cake batter to the prepared pan and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar topping.
  8. Bake: Bake the coffee cake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs sticking to it. 
  9. Serve: Serve the cake warm or at room temperature. Wrap the completely cooled cake airtight, and store at room temperature for several days; freeze for longer storage.
